ARW's ATMP Manufacturing Must-Reads (ST. PATRICK'S DAY EDITION!)Day-in and day-out, I write, read, listen to, and watch as much content as I can about CGT and RNA therapy manufacturing, in particular, and/or other ATMP industry-related topics that you should at least be aware of in the manufacturing facility. Once a month, I compile the articles and industry updates I think are most worthy of your time into an unconventional roundup article.

Advancing RNA Live panelists delve into advancements in IVT technology, homing in on innovations like bead-based purification, improved enzymes, and modular manufacturing systems.
The mRNA supply chain is undergoing massive growth in three particular areas. Here, speakers Khaled Yamout & Francoise Ribes walk us through the materials that have undergone the most scientific growth over the past few years and the impacts they’re noting these advancements having on the development of our mRNA drug substances and mRNA-LNP drug products.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, Khaled Yamout and Sanofi’s Francoise Ribes share the quality considerations that are top of mind when evaluating a novel raw material, as well as how the broader industry (i.e., standard setting organizations, suppliers, and biotechs) can arrive at a clearer understanding of a material’s quality.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CMC consultant Sujit Jain unpacks the levels of maturity he’s observed in process and analytical development, as well as supply chain. While vaccines and liver-targeting therapeutics boast what we can call a reproducible platform today, targeted LNP therapies introduce a handful of scale-up sensitivities and characterization hurdles.
